    Don't let them score


    This score can be directly attributed to Jones.

    What was that free for against Hibberd? 

    No idea. Shoulder to shoulder. Didn’t hold long enough for a Mark. 
     

     

     

    Oliver lifting.


    Jones fumbles then handballs to them

    This is a shocking watch save for the Trac and Oliver show 


    The number of times that Jackson has had to drive his own ball is terrible

    We did better on the scoreboard that term, but we aren't home.  We need to put the foot down like last week.

    However, I think we are showing better signs going forward.  We are taking more right options which is resulting in us hitting players on the lead, something we weren't doing enough of earlier in the season.

    But last term coming up but I'm backing us in to see it through.


    Jackson, Rivers, Pickett.

    Jason Taylor has absolutely nailed these picks. Jackson is going to be some player huh.

    They're down on the bench aren't they?

    Can we win a single centre clearance ?

    Did you see that Petracca goal?

     

    We're playing with 20.

    Jones and TMac are giving us absolute donuts.

    Barring a massive last quarter, neither should hold their spots. 

    The Roos stink. We should be 6+ goals up.

    The only saving grace to not being 6+ goals up is that we hopefully won't slack off in the fourth and keep working hard. When our work rate is up, the ball spends most of the time in our forward half and North struggle to score.

    Loving Oliver and Petracca's work. And Spargo is doing well.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
